Memorial Of Edward Everett PDF Download

Excerpt from A Memorial of Edward Everett: From the City of Boston Edward Everett was born in Dorchester, Norfolk County, near Boston, on the 11th of April, 1794. His father, Rev. Oliver Everett, had resigned the ministry of the New South Church, in Boston, in 1792, and re moved to Dorchester, where he spent the remainder of his life. On his father's side Mr. Everett was descended from Richard Everett, or Everard, of Dedham, one of the early settlers in New-England, who is said by tradition to have been a soldier in the Low Countries. His mother was Lucy Hill, daughter of Alexander Sears Hill of Boston, and Mary Richey, and granddaughter of Alexander Hill, a merchant of Boston through the greater part of a long life. On both sides Mr. Everett was descended from ancestors almost all of whom were of the first Puritan emigration. His maternal grandmother, Mary Richey, was born in Philadelphia. His grandfather, Alexander Sears Hill, graduated at Harvard College in 1764, and died in 1771. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
